Banging in the Magnum Fuel Stirrer Bushings

[Don2222]

Hello

This older Magnum 3502 multi-Fuel Pellet Stove has had some good use and the fuel stirrer rod was banging and then stopped working. The lower sprocket set screws were loose but the bronze bearings were really worn and dirty inside.
The chain and sprockets were also worn so time to replace using the Fuel Stirrer repair kit.
The Fuel Stirrer Repair Kit comes with a nice bearing removal tool that makes it easier!
